About Varenna
Varenna is the Lake Como town that first-timers fall for hardest — a tight knot of pastel houses, stone stairways and lakefront gardens on the quieter Lecco branch of the lake, where the ferry docks right in the middle of village life. Start with the water: the Private Luxury Boat Tour of Lake Como with Stops & Drinks shows you the shoreline and the great villas from the only angle that really makes sense, while the Varenna: Castello di Vezio Entry Ticket with Lake Como Views gives you the same panorama from above, plus the castle's falconry and ghostly white sculptures.

Frequently asked questions
Varenna is small and walkable, so first-timer experiences here are short, local and easy to slot into a day. You can tour the lake by private boat, climb to Castello di Vezio for the view, wander the gardens at Villa Cipressi and still cook pasta at a local's home.
